#FRIDAY’S SPIRITUAL NUGGETS# IT’S NOT TIME; IS IT?

What are the issues we have to face when the membranes of our dreams are prematurely ruptured?

Ecclesiastes 3:1
There's an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth:
Very often, we are eager to display our gifts, our talents and the dreams inherent in us.
In the process, it is indeed possible to ignorantly or over-zealously do things that would culminate in the premature births of our hearts’ progeny. Unfortunately, prematurity is indeed one of the greatest contributors to the mortality accrued to both fetuses and goals.
When it ain’t time, one of these might just hasten the death of one’s dreams:
1    1.    FORCE:
“A right time to wage war and another to make peace.” (Eccl 3:8b)
Many times, we think if we’re forceful enough, our dreams will come to pass. But have we considered our environment, the timing?
Sometimes, it’s not force that would bring us to the limelight in our chosen paths, patience might just be needed to mature us. And if we proceed to use traumatic methods, we just might prematurely puncture the egos of our dreams.

2    2.    UNPREPAREDNESS:
 “A right time to plant and another to reap,” (Eccl 3:2b)
While some use force, some of us would rather sit still and wait in belated hope. A weak, unprepared cervix is a good predictor of premature birth; so is an unprepared mind.
The unprepared individual has forgotten that it isn’t all who have had dreams that have birthed something that had breath; thus he just might join the company of those who birth un-living things!

3    3.    WRONG CONTENT:
“A right time to destroy and another to construct,” (Eccl 3:3b)
When the abdomen of a pregnant woman is distended with mostly amniotic fluid and less of a fetus, it seems like an overwhelming burden to bear- giving the wrong impression that the due date of delivery is near.
Any wonder that there’s spillage of some fluid?
It’s not just about the design of your concept, it’s about the content.
Fab designs might fetch us jobs, but it is only content that can keep us in place and always relevant.

So while we are at it, be it watering our dreams or even dreaming up more dreams, let’s pay cognizance- even if it’s a little- to the timing @ which we launch our ‘products’ into the grand market of life. Timing, is everything!

What are your thoughts on timing as regards dream-launching?

LABOURING: IN THE PROCESS OF DREAM BIRTHING (2)

Labour/ birthing of dreams has three main phases, to view the 1st Stage and what it is correlated with, please check LABOURING: IN THE PROCESS OF DREAM BIRTHING . Thank you. STAGE 2: This is the stage of labour that begins from the full dilatation of the cervical os (10cm) till the baby is delivered. It is extrapolated with diligently seeking your dream and getting it.  These are called the (iv) Seeking stage (v) Getting stage     Phase 1 (SEEKING STAGE): It begins from the full dilatation of the cervical os till the leading part of the fetus is on the pelvic floor. It is often marked by an irresistible urge of the mother to push and in regards to the birthing of a dream; the tenacity of the dreamer concerning the dream. (S)He keeps pushing till it is realized. IT IS THE "I SOUGHT IT STAGE". When normal, this phase is characterized by: ·          Strong contractions ·        ...

WANNABE INTERN

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now. Let me start with the first: LS Health Service Commission At the State Health servic...

LIKE FAITH AND LOVE

Gal 5:6 - For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. The heart and the lungs are like faith and love, their functions intertwined, their locations proximate, the feelings that they generate just as conclusive. They produce hope for the survival of the physical body, just like faith and love produce hope for the spiritual body’s survival. Experiences of today made me realize something: we need faith intertwined with love to breathe as spirit beings, as much as we need the functional capacity of our cardio-respiratory apparatuses to breathe the breath of life. It’s that important…faith and love I mean.
